Step-by-Step Solution: 2/35 + 2/6
Step 1
Find the Least Common Denominator (LCD)
The denominators 35 and 6 are coprime (they share no common factors other than 1). Therefore, their Least Common Denominator (LCD) is simply their direct product: 35 ร 6 = 210.
LCD(35, 6) = 210
Step 2
Convert to Equivalent Fractions with Common Denominator 210
Multiply the numerator and denominator of 2/35 by 6, and multiply the numerator and denominator of 2/6 by 35 so both fractions share the common base 210.
2 ร 6/35 ร 6 = 12/210 and 2 ร 35/6 ร 35 = 70/210
Step 3
Add the Numerators
Now add the numerators (12 + 70 = 82) and keep the common denominator 210 unchanged.
12 + 70/210 = 82/210
Step 4
Simplify the Fraction to Lowest Terms
Find the Greatest Common Divisor (GCD) of 82 and 210, which is 2. Divide both the numerator and denominator by 2.
82 รท 2/210 รท 2 = 41/105
Step 5
Decimal & Percentage Representation
Dividing the numerator 41 by denominator 105 produces a repeating decimal (approximately 0.390476, or 39.0476%).
